Trike-a-Thon

Landon had a wonderful time riding his trike in the Trike-a-Thon event at school this past week. At first he was interested in riding off-course and had a couple of collisions due to looking back at the people he was passing instead of forward in the direction he was heading. Before long, however, he was running lap after lap without indecent. For next year’s Trike-a-Thon we’ll have to get Landon a big-boy bike with training wheels – seems like he’s just about ready for that.

 

I Got It

I decided to have some fun with effects in iMove today. Here is some video of Landon at the park yesterday. He loves to throw things down the slide. This time he let me throw back up to him to catch.

Sept 2010

It’s great picking Landon up from day care because when he sees me he screams “Daddy!” Here is some video of that as well as Landon hitting balls with bats and playing at the pool.

No Pictures

Some weeks it’s very hard to get any video of Landon since as soon as he sees the camera (or phone being used as a camera, as the case may be) he gets upset and says “no pictures!” We did, however, get some footage here of him eating peanuts, one of his favorite snacks. Also this week, Landon has started abbreviating things. He’s been saying “Thanks” instead of “Thank you” and “Mom” instead of “Mommy.” Mommy isn’t very happy about this.

Red Means Stop

We couldn’t really get any footage of it, partially because our usual camera man was busy driving the car, but Landon’s favorite new thing to do this week is to announce at each red or green light we come across while driving that “red means stop” and “green means go.” There is a lot of footage of him this week doing something he’s loved to do for years it seems: kick the ball and say “I did it!” All of this video was shot on an iPhone 4 by the way.
